I looked at my post this morning, wow was I sleepy when I wrote yesterday!  I said I had trouble creating the second tag.  I played a lot more.  I was determined to use my always artichoke big designer buttons.  I also liked the color combo of crumb cake, always artichoke, very vanilla and early espresso.  Reading this seems like I am talking about a recipe.  It's fun what stampin'up! can come up with for the names of ink colors! Here they are my second batch of Christmas tags.

I should be posting about Fall, Halloween, Back to school, but this is the mood I am in!  I will challenge myself.  Actually I am so due to create a scrapbook page for my daughters.

I have to say, looking at this picture, my waffle paper needs to be fixed.  It was pretty.  So if you get this swap from me, making sure it's all ruffled!

I have been quiet with the blog this week.  It's great that the kids are back to school.  For me this is like a fresh new year starting.  I reorganized my stamp sets, AGAIN!  I always do this when a new catalog comes out.  I started training at the gym again, something I use to do daily and that I had not done in a while.  Today my body is in pain.  But good pain, I love it!  I also attended team meeting yesterday and I had not gone in such a long time because I couldn't fit it in my schedule.  It felt good, I missed my demonstrator friends so much.  For me, since I join as a demonstrator, the friendships has been one of the best advantages.  Not many jobs you get a heartfelt welcome like that!  Angela made a beautiful Halloween card.  I got home and was inspired by her to make my own version.  I love ruffles and ribbon, lace and distressing, so I adapted it to my own style and taste.  It was fun to play with this card.  Love the outcome.  Thanks Angela for the inspiration!

 I just love the waffle paper, it's a must.  I created a accordion fold with it and it just made this card stand out!
